Keith Fink, who represented her in the first Twitter defamation battle, has alleged that the 47-year-old 'You Know You're Right' hitmaker retained him to be her "consiglieri" in various matters, said The Hollywood Reporter.

The matters ranged from the defamation lawsuit to her claim that she and daughter Frances Bean Cobain had been defrauded out of hundreds of millions of dollars in royalty income stemming from the success of her late husband, Kurt Cobain.

"A number of these disputes and lawsuits centered on Love's alleged failure to pay various third parties for services rendered," said Fink's complaint.

In his lawsuit, Fink says he charged Love USD 595 an hour for work, plus various fees associated with legal research and court costs.

 

He also said that instead of cash, she used to sent Nirvana and Hole gold records, Las Vegas concert tickets and a bouquet of flowers to him.

However, Love's spokesman, Steve Honig, claimed that the singer had not been served with anything.
